Almost three years ago, right after Erin and I had booked our trip to Europe, I had decided that I was going to print out a ton of Flat Stanleys and bring them with me on vacation. I figured I'd bring one for every day of the trip and leave them in various places -- I had put instructions on the back of each Flat Stanley that said to take a picture with him, leave him somewhere and send me a copy of the picture (No one actually did this and I was sad).
When I was making them before my trip I had made a blog post (Adventures With Flat Stanley...) all about the Flat Stanley Project, etc. with a template of Flat Stanley for people to print out for themselves. At the end of the post I had asked for people to send me a copy of the pictures if they actually did it.
Fast forward to yesterday... I get an e-mail entitled Flat Stanley and Amy. It was an e-mail filled with pictures of the cutest little girl named Amy cleaning up her toy and going to the market with Flat Stanley.
I cannot tell you how surprised and happy I was to get that e-mail, it just made my whole day. I thought that I'd never get a response to that post because I had made it so long ago. I mean, I know that that post get viewed frequently but I never thought anything of it.
Thank you Amy sending me such beautiful pictures of yourself with Flat Stanley. I hope you have wonderful adventures together! ::Hugs::
Oh my gosh! This is such a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd I SO read Flat Stanley when I was younger. It's so awesome.

It's really fun to bring him along and take random pictures with him.
DeleteThis is the cutest thing ever!
